Abstract: The configuration of a multi-head gamma camera requires coordination between tangential and radial motions so that the detectors 22 maintain a desired orientation, either corner to corner or overlapping. Based on the radial and angular positions of the detectors, desired tangential positions are determined. The desired tangential positions are compared with the actual tangential positions, to generate position error signals. Tangential motion is initiated to reduce the position errors. If the required tangential motion exceeds the capability of the tangential drive or cannot be achieved, the radial motion is slowed or stopped. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a traction device for separating two parts of a bone, in particular for lengthening a bone or bridging over a bone gap. The device has a medullary pin (1) which can be introduced into the medullary space. This pin (1) comprises two parts (2, 3) which can be moved apart axially. Each pin part can be fixed to one of the two bone parts. The device also has a driving device (4) for driving the two parts (2, 3) of the medullary pin (1) apart. In order to enhance the bone growth process and reduce strain on the treated bone, a blocking device (17, 18) prevents the two parts (2, 3) of the medullary pin (1) from coming together again.

Abstract: A smoke detector is disclosed in which smoke particles are detected by the collection and detection of blue light and infra-red radiation which are emitted into a predetermined path through a scattering volume where the particles may be present. The scattered blue light and the scattered infra-red radiation are collected by an ellipsoidal mirror and focussed onto a suitable detector and then compared to produce an output which indicates either that the detected particles are smoke particles or that they are not smoke particles. The radiation collected by the mirror has been scattered through angles substantially less than 45° and preferably between about 10° and 35°.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait, d'une manière générale, à une technique d'extraction de soufre d'un courant d'acrylate et, plus particulièrement, à un procédé de récupération ainsi qu'à une méthode de réutilisation d'un catalyseur acide principalement utilisé dans la réaction d'esters acryliques. Durant la réaction de l'acide acrylique et d'un alcool en présence d'un catalyseur acide, l'acrylate et l'eau sont retirés des sous-produits de la réaction (extrémités lourdes et oligomères). Ces composants à extrémité lourdes de sous-produits, dont le catalyseur acide entrant dans le processus réactionnel, sont dirigés sur un évaporateur. On fait ensuite entrer en contact le flux résiduel résultant avec de l'eau dans un extracteur et, à la suite de cette mise en contact avec l'eau, il se produit une séparation des phases entre le catalyseur acide/mélange à base d'eau et d'autres substances organiques. Les substances organiques sont éliminées tandis que le catalyseur acide/mélange à base d'eau est recyclé dans le processus réactionnel. On utilise, dans le cadre de cette invention, un évaporateur ainsi qu'un extracteur pour contribuer à la séparation du catalyseur acide du flux de déchets sous-produits de réaction. L'enlèvement d'acide se solde par l'émission de moins de composants organo-soufrés du processus réactionnel, rendant celui-ci plus respectueux de l'environnement.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'avertissement comportant une unité d'avertissement (2) présentant un vibreur incorporé qui résonne lorsqu'il reçoit un signal de commande, et un circuit générateur de signaux (5) qui fournit un signal de commande à l'unité d'avertissement (2). Le circuit générateur de signaux (5) émet le signal de commande Dv dont la fréquence varie dans une certaine plage de fréquences comprenant la fréquence de résonance du vibreur, et fournit le signal de commande Dv à l'unité de commande (2). L'ampleur de la variation de la fréquence du signal de commande est prédéterminée en fonction de l'ampleur de la variation de la fréquence de résonance due aux tolérances des facteurs déterminant la fréquence de résonance. Par ailleurs, le signal de commande a une forme d'onde rectangulaire ou sinusoïdale alternée, sa fréquence variant périodiquement dans une gamme comprise entre 1, 37 et 2,98 Hz. Ainsi, on peut obtenir un dispositif d'avertissement suffisant quelle que soit la variation de la fréquence de résonance du vibreur.

Abstract: A method of image reconstruction from wedge beam data includes collecting cone beam data in two-dimensional arrays. The collected data corresponds to rays of penetrating radiation diverging in two dimensions from a common vertex which travels along a curve. Each element of the data is related to line integrals of an object being reconstructed taken along each ray. A local coordinate system is defined having three mutually orthogonal axes and an origin at the vertex. The third axis of the local coordinate system extends in a direction tangential to the curve at the vertex. The collected data is rebinned into a wedge beam format wherein sets of parallel rays are grouped to define planes of radiation that angularly diverge from a common axis. A one-dimensional convolution of the rebinned data is computed in the local coordinate system along a direction parallel to the third axis. Finally, the convolved data is weighted and three-dimensionally backprojected. In a preferred embodiment, the curve defines a helical path, and the kernel for the one-dimensional convolution of the rebinned data is a ramp convolver. <IMAGE>
